2.4L V-6? 2.4L is a 4 banger.
I'd use the gasket that comes with the water pump.

That is usually what I do. I take the pump and put some 3M on it to hold the gasket in place. I don't think I have seen a water pump that used only gasket maker from the factory. Nissan and Toyota likes to use gasket maker on thermostat housings, but even they use gaskets or o-rings on their pumps.

I find it a much neater job to use spray adhesive to hold the gasket to the pump and silicone on the engine side of the gasket. that way when removed the gasket will remain on the pump and not have to be sanded off the engine.
